How Rome Was Founded and
Built.

Prof. Lanciani, director OF the e
eavations at Rome, said in a recent
lecture that those who had not seen
Rome since 1870 could have little
idea Of the great number Of public
works and improvements which had
since that time been introduced.
There were 121 new streets, I43 miles
of drains, 5000 additional houses,
while $40, o0o. 900 had been spent
on works for public welfare and con-
venience. In excavations 298.O0o,-
600 cubic feet Of earth had been up
turned, and works of art of the great
est value had been brought to light,
together with LAP marble and bronze
statues in good condition, 200 in
jured ones, 152 has ~reliefs, with ZOO
objects in terra Gotta. AZ many in
scriptions, and 10000 gold, silver,
and bronze coins. These discoveries
had thrown more light on Roman art
and archaeology than a century before
had done. The theory had been adj
vanced that a new Etruscan city had
been discovered in the ground occu-
pied by Rome. and this would upset
former IDEAS OF Roman history and
traditions. The excavations proved
the fallacy Of any such theory and
showed conclusively that Rome had
been founded by q colony of Alban
shepherds. Remains OF the cemetery
of Alba Tonga had been discovered,
with the dwellings, of the inhabitants

1t makes me tired when I sit and re-
fleet on the courtship that made me
change my name to Mrs. Bowser
was full of love and trust and no
nance, and I looked upon Mr.. Bowser
as a god. One OF his favorite pastimes
was to place me where the lamp
light fell upon my hair and to address
me as his golden haired angel. Poor
silly girl that / was, Ithoughtit would
always last. One evening after we
had been married five or six weeks, /
took my stand under the gas and ask
ed him if his angel vas as dear to him
as ever.
"Humphl' he growled, as he looked
me over.
but won't you praise my golden
hair?"
Golden carrots, Mrs. Bowserl II
| had such a mop Of carroty hair on
my head AZ you possess I'd go hide it
away in a Darrell"
'Then you have ceased TO love me?"
''Ceased nothing l have simply got
tired of this boshy nonsense and /
propose to settle down to tnerealities
of life"
During our courtship Mr.. Bowser
delighted to read to me from q book
of poems, and he insisted on holding
one of my hands while he read.
Tile second evening we were in our
own house / brought out Longfellow
and sat down beside him and took
his hand.
What are you paving around
for?" he asked, as he looked up.
81 want my deary to read to Inc.
"Wel your deary has got some.
thing else to do. I'm reading up on
bread and butter instead of poetry.
Please keep your paw at home"
You used to read such lovely poet
ry to me-"
''That was because ] was a fool"
/ went over to the other side OF the
room and cried, and he let me weep
away for a straight hour by the clock
before he observed:
Now, Mrs. Bowser, il you have got
through sniveling we will 90 down
stairs and measure that coal bin and
figure up the cubic feeti'
During our courtship we used to
take long walks in the cleaning, and
though / was often so tired that |
could hardly drag one leg after anoth-
or, Mr.. Bowser would insist on drag
ing me around. He was always quot
ing something about glorious Luna"
and ~"silver stars and "heaven's
arch" and one night as we sat upon
the doorstep he put his arm around
me and said he could sit there forever
and aye. 1t was hardly a month aft
er marriage that | put on my hat one
evening and asked him il he didn't
want to wander out for a while and
watch the silent night shut down.
I'D like to see myself sloshing
around with this internal corn on my
toe" he replied.
''Mr. Bowser, there was a time when
you'd have walked all night with a
corn on every toe"
'That shows what an idiot a man
can make Of himself"
you once said that we'd always
walk hand-in-hand in LIES cleaning.
81 don't belisveit! I knew vas soft,
but / don't believe / was as nlushy as
that"
"But you certainly did
"Well, I'll take it all back now.

preplexed them so long. She said:
TELL Eric when you write to him,
please, that everything a be ex-
planned. Let me know when the in.
terview is to be, and where. / wish
to observe the conditions which my
dear uncle laid down, but Eric must
not remain under unjust suspicion
any longer"
1t was an embarrassing position
for John Pawson. He wished Edith
had been more explicit. From what
he knew about her he did not think
she was likely to raise hopes which
would not be fulfilled. But how
could she explain anything? ..
He wrote to Eric as Edith had de-
sired. and received a prompt reply by
telegraph saying, that he should be in
Swarfton that night. Eric saw John
Pawson; but John could not explain
anything. .r.
1--WE must wait till Edith comes,
Eric" he said, land you must not see
her except in my presence. Lumley
and Moss will not miss q chance"
Eric consented. He met Lumley
and Moss the next day, and these two
worthless seemed afterward to be in
better spirits than usual.
'"To be or not to be?" said Lum-
ley.
"That's the question, replied Moss.

A number of taxpayers of this
county will send in petition to our
Legislators at Helena, for law taxing

theoretically admitted, should be
more generally recognized in practice.

way of breaking up the great land
estates which are coming into exist.
ence in America. 1t proposes a
cumulative land tax, by which the
holder of a large estate shall pay a
higher rate of taxation than the hold
er of small farm. By this plan the
tax rate on an acre Of land would be
lowest in the smallest farm, and would
gradually increase as the size Of the
farm increased until on an acre in a
large landed estate would be two or
three times as heavy---as the law ma
kers might see lit to make it--as on
an acre in the smallest farms. This
would tend to prevent landlordism,
and would create nation of small
proprietors. 1t would at once break
up big "bonanza" fasms, and would
be especially beneficial in California
in compelling the sale of the Lig
ranches to small holders. This sys-
tenn of taxation is to-day in actual
existence III Switzerland, country
which, it may be remarked, is prac-
ticably free from the miserable pow
erty which characterizes nearly every
other European country. A cumula-
tive tax not only on land but on per-
sonal property is imposed in ten can
tons, more than half of the republic,
and will be put into practice in Vaude
next month. Some cantons in Swift
erland furnish about the only exam
pies of the pure democracy in exist
ence to-day. The entire people of
these cantons meet in the open air,
as did the people of Athens, and en-
act the laws. Other cantcns have
Legislative councils, which first adopt
the laws, which are then voted on by
the people. Only fifteen per cent of
the Swiss people live in towns. AL
most every man is land holder, and
the farms are very small
The new law to go into effect In
Vaude will tax all farms worth over
$4,000, and up to $4,000, half as much
more per acre as those worth less
than $4,000. All over $4,000 will
be taxed twice as much per acre as
those worth less than $4,000. There
is also cumulative tax on other
property. The taxes on personal
are SO arranged that the man
worth 100000 will pay a rate four
times as heavy as man worth less
than $4,000, instead of less rate, as
is usually the case in this country.
The great evils of land monopoly
and the vicious effect of gigantic for
tunes IN this country demand RENE
dies. The experience of the Swiss
people, whose freedom has become
and whose exemption
rom the evils of great wealth and of
poverty has made their country one
# the happlest and most prosperous,

When the advocates of gas lighting in place
of oil and candles for street lamps were push

them by clever caricaturist who pictured
the old style Of lamps as birds and insects
